>> I cited evidence for the majority of suicide bombers being foreigners

Hold it right there. When exactly did you show that most of suicide bombers were foreign fighters? By all means bring it forth, may be I missed something.

You did not even claim that most of the suicide bombers were foreign fighters. Your claim was that most of those that you could id were foreign fighters. True to the Bush-Cheney-Rove style, you said one thing while implying something else. But even your real claim was too weak of an argument. Your id comes from a second-hand account of AQ websites, which is far from reliable and a military who loves to spin facts and outright lies.

So the question remains, at the rate of more than 22 suicide bombers per day, how many ids have been made and by whom? Your own data says at most 250 Iraqi and foreign fighters. So where are the vast majority of them coming from? You'd love for us to extrapolate from the weak and conveniently gathered data you have posted. But that does not stand any logic.
